  • Ever have a change in heart?

    Well, you know I've been trying to sell the wagon.
    And through a friend of a friend, I've been offered $1900, thing is, he lives in TN.
    On the way home, I'm thinking I really don't want to sell her, she's been such a great car to me, and has become part of me, I'm not so sure if I want to sell her now.
    I mean, maybe if I sold her to a friend who I know would take care of her, or to a family member, somebody who would still let me drive her on occasion. But I don't think I could sell her to somebody I've only talked to through eMails and Yahoo Messenger.
    I still want another car, and I can't sell the Kammback, because I won't sell her as a parts car or demo derby car, the subframe is still perfect, and she's fairly solid ("Ready for Restoration")

    I'm down now
    Rumors of my demise by rollover have been greatly exaggerated.

    If you are so emotionaly charged with that vehicle then keep it to be burried in.

      If you're gonna sell it, make a clean break. I don't think you want to though, sounds more like you just want something new to play with.
      I'm probably wrong

        I'd take the 1900 and run. Probably about 1500 more than anyone else is going to offer you.

        That which you manifest is before you.

            Yep, I've been the same way with my Mustang for the last 3.5 years. I wanna sell it so I have room for a Chevelle, but it was my first car, it's the only one like it in a 100mi radius so people always know it's me, and unlike my truck I can actually do something when I pop the hood. It's gonna have to be a clean break...you might as well take the money and send it down south.

              Take the $1900 and run - no one is going to offer you that much and then not take care of the car.
              There's always something new to learn.

                After losing my licence in 1974 for drag racing down US-1 in Ft. Lauderdale, I traded in my 1972 Demon and I bought a 1974 Dodge Van.... : I got $900 for it.... I regretted it then and oh boy do I regret it now..... :'(

                  we all have to step back...
                  find a deeper reality. Thinking bigger is a cure.

                  your eagle is AWD, heavier gauge, realtime thumps of a carb on a difficult engine.

                  go for a ride in a better similar and snap out of it....I drove a concorde around, my grandmas...the 258 was really bothersome. A v8 in the same chassis and its a big sale, chances for a better spot to hide it by the next owner who cares.

                  why not find a 304, and continue to ignore the axle woes.

                  the one of a kind factor is a keeper, just get another car and park the one you got.

                  I have wanted to throw a 3 main carbed sube off a cliff more than once...not only for japanese midgetry, until realizing it finds friends in 396 and 427 mentalities...spark it up 50 years from now its the same lightning elusive little man machine.

                  what does the 258 have?

                    If you sell,make a clean break and sell it to someone somewhere else so you won't have to see it or it will become like that one girlfriend you had in high school that you screwed up the relationship with and she is now with someone else. You see her all the time and still want her back but you are one of her past mistakes never to be revisited again.

                        Eagle,, look.. take the money and run..
                        take 1000.oo and stuff it in a savings account.. and get a 500-900 beater, than add to your savings every week, even if it's 10 bucks, by this time next year, and a tax return you'll be able to get an AMC that you'll want that needs less..
                        if you can't drop 10 bucks a week into a savings, or keep it there because of that "wayout" 8track,
                        have the state do it for you..
                        claim zero on your w2 and have them withhold +10 you'll have 10 bucks less everyweek in your check, but your tax return will be like a savings account, and as seen as savings account interest payed is a joke.. you'll not miss the 5 buck you'd earn..
                        good luck, I'd sell it.. as you still have the other eagle, and if you end up missing the wagon, it'll get your @$$ in gear on that one..
                        good luck..

                          I feel your pain, but having just been through that deal myself, my advice to is drop that mother like it's on fire. As was stated- no one is going to pay that much for the car and not treat it right. If you sold it to someone you know, it would cause more trouble because it would always seem like "your" car. At least you can know that it will be used. The last I saw of the Escort it was in the claw of an articulated loader being set on top of an S10.

                          There are more Eagles out there.

                            Let that Eagle fly to its new nest!

                            Put the 1900 green Eagles in the bank!


                            As the economy continues its slide towards the apocalypse, there are some serious desperation-deals to be had.

                            And you'll have the bucks ready to scoop up a mega-deal.

                              I've put so much into the Eagle, and she's now a reliable car, but I want something different as well, I've been trying to sell the Kammback, but I'm not going to sell her to somebody who will Demo Derby her or just use her as a parts car
                              I want this, and if I sold the Eagle, one of the following cars would be what I'd get


                              Now you know I'd just get myself into trouble with them, I don't mean fun trouble, but braking down on the side of the road trouble
